Uncover the intricate and often overlooked history of the "Apache Wars" in Arizona, a chapter that saw half of the active U.S. Army engage with a relatively small number of Indigenous warriors. Initially welcoming the Americans as a buffer against Mexican attacks, the Apache peoples' relationship with the newcomers soured as miners and loggers encroached on their territory. What began as a defensive war evolved into a protracted guerrilla campaign lasting a quarter-century. Join Gregory McNamee, an expert who has delved into the Apache Wars, as he unravels the complexities of the conflict and explores the decades of uneasy peace that ensued.
